Doriemus Plc (ASX: DOR)("Doriemus"or the"Company"), is pleased to announce that aggregate test production from the Portland reservoir at the Horse Hill oil field in the Weald Basin of the UK now exceeds 10,000 barrels ("bbl").

Australian Contact Information: Julia Beckett

The Operator of Horse Hill (Horse Hill Developments Limited, the "Operator") has advised that the Horse Hill-1 ("HH-1") discovery well continues to flow Portland crude oil with no formation water produced to date. The Portland is producing at a stable daily average rate of over 220 barrels per day ("bopd"), and this stabilized flow is a key component of the conceptual design and planning required to finalise the Portland field development plan and to the targeted establishment of permanent long-term Portland production by end 2019.

For prudent reservoir management purposes, the average test production rate from the Portland section has been maintained below the previously reported 362 bopd calculated optimised sustainable rate.

Postal Address: PO Box 1240

Rig tender documents have also been issued to contractors for the drilling of the HH-2 Portland and HH-1z Kimmeridge horizontal appraisal/production wells and for which planning and environmental permits are in place. Drilling is targeted to start over the coming months.

HH-1 test production is planned to continue until the completion and testing of the new HH-2 Portland well.

Further details of extended well test ("EWT") results to date are summarised below.

Horse Hill 2018-19 EWT Oil Production Milestones:

Executive ChairmanDavid Lenigas

    Non-Exec DirectorsHamish Harris

    Corporate Information: ASX Code: DOR

  • 165 tankers of crude exported primarily to Perenco's Hamble oil terminal. The Portland's 36° API Brent quality crude containing zero produced water, continues to be sold at prevailing Brent crude oil prices, less a small deduction for handling and marketing.

David Lenigas, Doriemus' Chairman, commented:

"The Portland's continued excellent production performance, particularly from a non-optimised vertical well, provides confidence that the previously reported 720-1,080 bopd horizontal well production targets are increasingly attainable. The recent rig-tender exercise also means Horse Hill remains on track to begin the first horizontals shortly, with long term production testing of both wells planned to follow directly afterwards. This programme puts the Horse Hill partners in a strong position to deliver real growth and positive cash flow in the near future."
